I didn't see footage posted yet (sorry if I missed any) so thought I might share

Man it looks extremely bad from the video due to the sheer amount of smoke emanating from the ship.

I guess we'll know how bad the damage is based on whether there are any delays to the ship's schedule.

How do you think they fought this fire at this stage of building? Is there a sprinkler system,train fire crew on board, or just the builders?

I don't think they have trained staff on board in a military standard to tackle the fire. I really think they used a fire suppression system. Electrical fires are high heat and need chemicals to resolve, rather than water. I think this would most probably be applied to the fire via a system.

Everything I say is hypothetical, i'm making assumptions.

Looks like some kind of grease or chemical fire with the black smoke.

Is this wise? I don't want to sound like a contemptible Western presstitute, but it's not as if cover-ups are entirely alien to China. We don't need some mid-level official deciding "nothing major, nothing to see here, no structural damage, just put some paint on it and it'll be better than new" before there's been a thorough investigation, and then have the ship sink a few years down the line.

It's just the exterior of the ship that's getting cleaned, it's not like that means there won't be a thorough investigation and assessment of damage.

Most people on those Twitter threads are cheering this incident. Others are laughing. Sounds like anti-Communist sentiments are finally being stirred up!

I think you might have been absent from twitter's "China watching" sphere for the last few years, if you use the word "finally" rofl...

They already started repainting the ship. Apparently some of the foam containers used to store equipments caught fire, which made it look worse than it is.
